Park opening and closing times

A minority of Ealing’s parks are closed to the public overnight. Our contractors visit to lock the gates in the evening and return to reopen them in the morning. The locking times change over the course of a year to reflect the changing times of dawn and dusk.

Opening times: From 7.30am

Closing times Vary throughout the year:

January and February - 5.30pm

March - 7pm

April - 8pm

May - 9pm

June July - 10pm

August - 9pm

September - 8pm

October - 7pm

November and December - 5.30pm

The official locking and unlocking times are usually shown on a sign near the parks entrances. However, the contractor locking the parks visits them in a sequence and therefore the actual locking time may be later by up to 90 minutes.

Never enter a park after the park’s closing time – even if the gates are still open. Although the locking contractor will attempt to ensure nobody is left in the park there is a risk that you may be accidentally locked in! If you do get locked in a park then ring the council's out of hours number.

About the park

Located in the Brent River Park, Brent Lodge Park (BLP) and Churchfields is a sample of the countryside within the urban environment of Ealing. Bordered by the River Brent on the west and south, Brent Lodge Park is a favourite for families and those seeking tranquillity alike.

With modern playground facilities and the millennium maze for children, BLP and Churchfields also have extensive hay meadows, many veteran trees along the river as well as other grand trees making it a great place to spot wildlife in many forms.

Within the site there is a grade 2 listed stable block which is all that remains of the old manor house, which burned down in the 1930’s. The animal centre is also of great interest to many visitors.

Churchfields car park and BLP are subject to park opening and closing times while the animal centre has its own opening hours.

Local contacts

In 1973 the Brent River and Canal Society (BRCS) was formed to ensure the establishment of a linear park and improvements within the river corridor. They are still an active group who hold work days and walks.
